  Again, it’s not the software itself that’s fascist, it’s what it’s being used for that’s fascist. Facial recognition for determining citizenship could absolutely be used for non-fascist purposes, like simplifying border crossings to not require documentation. Likewise, surveillance systems can also not be used until there’s an actual warrant (i.e. no passive recording).

  The technology itself isn’t fascist, it’s how it’s applied that’s fascist. The mass data collection is fascist, the tools used to collect that data isn’t fascist in the same way that guns and tanks aren’t fascist, but they can certainly be used by fascists.

      If anyone is refusing to engage, it’s you. You provided no argument for your position, whereas I’ve explained as best I can in detail, with examples of similar things. Me not agreeing with you isn’t “refusing to engage,” it’s a good faith debate.

      If there’s some point you’ve made that I’ve failed to address, I apologize, I tried to be thorough to not waste any time going back and forth.
